Question
What do they do when they "put u to sleep" ? Like how.. a shot or what? And what do u feel (if anything) when u wake up?

Answer
Depending on your age, you can go to sleep with a mask or with an IV. With the IV we give the medicines through the the IV so it doesn't hurt. When you wake up you feel normal but maybe a little groggy.
